Quantum computing has long been the technology that always seems to be 10 years away. Now, one of the most senior technology executives in the world says the wait is almost over. Amazon's (AMZN) top artificial intelligence (AI) executive has put a firm timeline on when the world will see its first working quantum computer that businesses can use.

The US has unveiled a technological strategy to build and operate a specialized quantum

In a laboratory in Broomfield, Colorado, 98 atoms are suspended in midair, held in place by electric fields and cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero.

The point at which quantum computers outperform classical ones will arrive. The question is who controls the infrastructure when it does.

A peer-reviewed critique of Majorana 1 claims Microsoft did not conclusively demonstrate a working topological qubit. Microsoft disagrees.

It’s hard to know what to make of quantum computers. On the one hand, it may very well be like where AI was five or seven years ago. And, if that’s the case, perhaps the quantum plays, many of which have fallen out of favor in recent quarters,

A public-private partnership in the Mountain West announced new results today that mark steady progress toward the Department of Energy's goal of fault-tolerant quantum computing, systems large and reliable enough to solve complex problems.
